Advisory services
Expanding our global reach through consultancy services
Technology Center Mongstad (TCM) assist industries to successfully adopt technologies that will help them achieve their carbon emission mitigation goals. Through seven years of scientific research and commercial activities at the world’s largest CO2 test facility, we have gained incomparable knowledge on carbon capture technology which we want to share with developers of carbon capture projects.
To maintain neutrality, TCM do not recommend technology solutions or share proprietary information about commercial testing at our facility. Instead, we enable our customers to become informed buyers of carbon capture technology. Among other things, TCM will help setting up the correct framework for the technology procurement. We also assist you in raising the right questions when selecting the optimal technology solution and give guidance in managing the projects in a safe, timely and cost-efficient manner. Summarized, our services will enable you to reduce costs and risks.
Responding to our customers’ growing demand for advisory services, TCM is scaling up our consultancy practice and expanding our geographical reach.
Our contribution to international carbon capture deployment
TCM together with SINTEF and DNV GL is offering joint advisory services on capture, transportation and storage of carbon dioxide.
TCM`s focus in this collaboration is CO2 capture. SINTEF is one of Europe’s largest independent research organizations and DNV GL is a highly acknowledged certification body with well-established and standardized technology qualification programs. Both companies have more than a decade experience in carbon capture and storage. Together, we constitute a unique global force within consulting services on carbon capture and storage.
TCM has already provided advisory services to several developers of carbon capture and storage projects. We are supporting the two potential full-scale carbon capture and storage projects in Norway with our compatance on CO2 capture technology; Fortum Oslo Varme (owned by Fortum and Oslo City) at Klemetsrud in Oslo, and at Norcem’s cement factory in Brevik (owned by Heidelberg Cement). TCM also provides advice to OGCI CI, the USD $1 billion climate fund founded by the world’s largest energy companies. Furthermore, TCM has shared our expertise on how to run a conventional carbon-capture test plant with the first Asian open-access technology center, the Haifeng CO2 pilot plant in China.
